Welcome to My Fundraising Page
I am honored to be running the 2024 NYC Marathon this November! I am running in memory of my Papa who passed away in 2022, just months before his great granddaughter Addy was born. As the survivor of multiple heart attacks, the mission of Tedy's Team is the perfect organization to run for in his memory.
